A lot of people hate innovation, but innovation is the birth pangs of new economic frontiers. The headline, as alarmist as it is, only tells you the bad news. The good news is that other jobs will open up in new industries that will spring up to support these new economic and industrial frontiers.
As there’s pain in giving birth, so there’s pain in having to retrain some into new occupations. But innovation and disruption that goes with it brings great benefit overall especially as we in America gain/maintain the economic edge and American lifestyles improve as it always has as a result.
---------------------------------
We are heading maybe to a paradigm shift where innovation may not create new human labor demands as it has been in the past.
It’s similar to what people saw happen to home-based industries when the first factories appeared.
Although I’m at a lose as to where people will work once robots take over some of these sectors.
